Keller was, at one time, the most famous handicapped person in the world. A severe fever at age 19 months left Keller blind and deaf. At age six Keller met Anne Sullivan (later Anne Sullivan Macy), the teacher who taught Keller the alphabet, thereby opening the world to her. Keller became an excellent student and eventually attended Radcliffe College, where she graduated with honors in 1904. During her lifetime Keller was regarded as one of America’s most inspirational figures. Signed book: Let Us Have Faith. NY: Doubleday, Doran & Co., 1940.
